Wasn't git also created by some Finn? He had another, earlier, side project in university I think. Not something big and professional like GNU.

Are you thinking about Subsurface? I wonder what happened to that guy.

i think he was talking about the minix clone called freax i think.

i haven't heard anything about it since. it was just a hobby. and it wasn't very useful anyways because it only supported AT harddisks and the license didn't allow commercial use.

Yeah, that one. AT harddisks only and NOT portable.
